Oxbridge History and Economics. Which option should I choose?

hi! i found myself in the same situation as you were in a few months ago, also applying for lse economic history btw. course content was the most important aspect in my decision, as i looked at the modules i was interested in for both and ended up going with cambridge history - to me, there were more overt economic history-focused modules, and quite a few intersecting with the medieval period which is a personal interest of mine.
the admissions statistics for oxford history and economics + interview structure + general lack of integration between the two degrees, at least for me + course structure + TSA put me off oxford hist&econ in the end. maybe you can take a look at some 'with economics' courses offered at a few other unis? however, oxford does seem to have more economic history-focused faculty, at least within the history dept. like the first commenter has said, if you don't have maths, it's best not to pursue economics at oxbridge - not only because of admissions but also because of how you might keep up with the course.
best of luck with your decision!

Hi thanks for the reply! I made this post a while ago and am going to be going UCL in September. Congrats on Cambridge thats very impressive 👍

Congrats on UCL. I am also applying to History, Politics and Economics there. I was wondering which other universities you applied to and how you ended up at UCL. I am also considering LSE economics and economic history, KCL history and political economy and two pure economics courses at other universities(not sure which other unis yet)

hi. I applied to the same as you have said here. but also st andrews and warwick. st andrews was pure econ and warwick was like history or something.

Thank you fo your reply, did you get conditional offers from all of them and which 2 of them did you choose at the end.
